Spanky's Place

So I've just completed updating a fairly important document, and I want to save it. No good. MS Word won't save the document, and insists that I've run out of disk space.

Mind you, I'm attempting to save the document to my U:\ drive, which is mapped to my user folder on a network server. Now, I'm not entirely certain of the amount of free space on that folder, but I'm pretty certain it is somewhere around 200 Gig. I figured there must be some wacky network stuff going on, so I decided to save the file to my local C: drive (C:\temp\Working.doc, if you really care about specifics) Also, the MS Word document is a mere 7 pages long.

MS Word, in response to this attempt, refused to save the document. MS Word is insisting that I've run out of space on my C: drive as well. Now, I realize some of you probably think that 15+ Gig of free space might seem a bit meager, but it should be more than enough to save this document.

MS Word &#^)(!! sucks, it is a %%@*# steaming &&$#()$ pile of ^@@)$*( ##^@&$, and should be &%%#* @#$# rabbit food *&%^*( @#$%$ whiteboard %^#$%#^$ $$#$%^&^% @#$%(*76 developers #@@#$%^&%!!!

Whew. Sorry about the rant, but some things just need to be said. BTW, is anybody else frustrated by the slowness, lagging, and occasional freezes of the 8.5 Gold Client?
